Default Reverse shuts off engine...???? Help!!

i've never seen such strange logic on how something is not suppose to work. if you stop and think about it(anyone), it wouldnt even make since for that set up to work. i do beleave you couldnt just unhook the wires on the newer ones and still have the awd work, but thats just a guess.

Got it........just one more question. And I am not trying to instill another riot, just curious. If the whole box is bad, than why do my lights, and starter switch still work? They are in the exact same box.

ftwflh suggested that I just "UNPLUG THE BLACK WIRE FROM THE BOX AND RIDE THE THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

If I did that, wouldn't I kill the lights and starter switch (which are in that box) too?

Heres another crazy thing. I have received local quotes anywhere from 103.00 to 260.00 for the box. Any suggestions on where to order parts for a good price online?

Even if it runs in reverse w/o the rev limiter hooked up, there are times when my 8 year old will drive sitting in front of me, therefor the remote possibility that she could hop on when I am not around, and back right down the hill, and right into the pond, as she wouldn't be used to the lack of a rev limiter. I mention this only to preclude more comments about just unhooking the damn thing.

Thanks for all your help, and attempts at help.

On a side note, Hillary Clinton is our best bet for a new commander in chief......don't you agree?

There.........now that should give some of you guys something better to argue about than the prognosis of a rev limiter.

deerkiller why do you have to keep causing problems. stop bashing cornbread because your wrong about somthing.

cwigg brings up a good point about the everything going to the box. theirs a post a few weeks ago about guys sportsman shuting off when he put on the lights and the box was the problem.replace the box and the problem is fixed.

I have an idea, let's put cwigg's box on deerkiller and NOT push the override button!

I am surprised cornbread2 didn't think of that one....

You keep asking questions about your combo switch on your handlebars. You DO NOT have a problem with your combo switch.

Do NOT unhook anything from the switch. Do NOT attempt to take it apart.
